And for low Z cans, you might want to pick up a pair of 6528. These appear to be very similar to the 6336, but with a higher mu. The result is an output impedance even lower than the 6336....

I just check ebay and there's not a single 6528. I must turn to @attmci the vintage collector.

Well it looks like I'll be getting my GEL3N amp this week! I still need to test test my tubes, find a spot for it and name it. @2359glenn says it sounds fantastic and he will be boxing it up as soon as he can pry himself away from listening to it

Scarlett remember?

It is up to the source am using at the time to use single tube the source has to have a high output.
Mostly I have been using 2 tube mode to test the entire amp.
2 tube has more slam 1 tube is more gentile.

That reminds me of a question I wanted to ask you. My Matrix X-Sabre DAC has 2.2 Vrms on the RCA outputs and 4.4 Vrms on the XLR outputs, do you know what an XLR (DAC) to RCA (amp) cable will do to the voltage? I'm thinking that the higher voltage swing (gain) of the XLR out may be beneficial for single stage (1 tube) mode.

whirlwind, do have a recommendation from Joe Bonamassa's catalog? I would like to order one or two of his best performances.

Here I like this

Great name for a stunning looking EL3N amp. Very appropriate.

Thanks for assisting on the naming! Oh and BTW UT, that's "Miss Scarlett" to you; I'm trying to protect her fragile innocence

Wow, that just rocks! That music is just ozzzzzzzzzing with soul.

you can also use four 6AS7s or four 5998 in this amp for low impedance cans.
AS long as the total filament draw is not over 13 amps.

Ok I will remember total is 13amps. So no 6 x 6AS7 to smoke the house.

I have 4 x 5998 ready. I bought them new. I want to see the Southern cross light up with these.

Some tube porn for everyone! Scarlett (GEL3N) finished and just before Glenn (@2359glenn) seals her underbelly before shipping:

Hey, I am not Stavros. The gentleman recommended the tube has a huge collection as well.

Ok I've hunt all over the internet and this might be the closest to what I'll be getting..... minus the left tube rectifier socket.

Whose amp is this?

That would be my amp.

 

[UntilThen]

That would be my amp.

Wow that is so nice !!!

I regretted not asking for the extra 5volt tube rectifier option.

That is a very sexy underbelly. I like it.
